My parents and I had lunch at Tom's Oyster Bar in Royal Oak followed by super delicious cupcakes from The Cupcake Station in Birmingham: so good!
my new birthday tradition: the pineapple delight cupcake. It has a real piece of pineapple inside!
Then I headed over to Tim's to help set up to have our closest friends over for a small, but perfect, celebration... Aussie-style! We made Australian burgers and had a plentitude of beers to choose from (it was my 21st after all) and after the BBQ we made a fire and all sat around, laughed, talked, played games, laughed, and had the most perfect night I could ask for. The next day I left for Rochester, spent a glorious day with good friends doing fun things (mostly walking around with Dory, the lovable long haired chihuahua), had dinner at my all-time favorite place: Dogtown, followed by an evening of games, music, friends, and fun. I got two perfect birthdays!
Bella and I sat on the porch while the guys got things done: I love having Boy Scouts around!
What are Australian burgers, you ask? We made two types:
1) included cheese, fried egg, beets, sauteed onions, bacon, lettuce, BBQ sauce, burger, and bacon.
2) (pictured) same thing, but with turkey bacon and BBQ chicken. So delicious!
I love when things just work out the way they're supposed to. I love being able to say "the way it's supposed to". In conclusion: best birthday ever. Thanks for indulging me.
